I was driving my 2003 to work yesterday when the EML light came on and the engine went into limp mode. I pulled over within 1/2 a block. Turned off the engine, and it failed to restart. No problems turning over.

I had it towed to my Indy where they let me know that the cylinder was full of gas but there was no issues. I had the oil changed.

Do you think there will be any long term damage to the engine such as head gasket issues?

Like drewster said you should be fine. You did the right thing pulling over. You might have done damage if it started and ran for a long period with it running the stuck injector pouring in fuel and washing the cylinder (loss of compression) and then hydro-locking (bending the rod). Your Indy look into why it did what it did?

Stuck injectors aren't very common, but they do happen. I know someone with an Audi V6 that had this happen. They pulled over right away and the engine seemed to not have any problems. It's definitely not a good thing, however. I'd recommend you get all of the injectors cleaned and tested.

As the OP, here is what my Indy said.... this is very uncommon. They might see one every couple of years.
I have the car back with one new injector and the others cleaned. Car runs well, and a bit smoother. BTW, I had noticed a drop off in fuel mileage for about 300 miles before it quit altogether.
